“Earlier this fall, the city invited residents to draw districting maps that structure council districts. Plans submitted by commission members and the public were reviewed by the Boise Districting Commission and helped guide the commission as they drafted the final map of council districts.
Commission members voted for the Boise Districting Plan at their final meeting on November 16th and was approved by Boise City Council on November 29th.”
Redistricting often has trade-offs and cutting through Neighborhood Association coverage areas can be a common issue. It’s important to balance multiple factors such as population deviation and continuity of area while also considering the impact on community organizations.
Note that District 1, which includes the entirety of our Centennial Neighborhood extends to the south into much less densely populated parts of Boise.
